Owner: Marti Jeffs
Hi, I'm Marti, owner and teacher at Yoga at Ladaka. I have been teaching yoga since 2000, certified at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health. While a massage therapist for 30 years, I studied Ayurveda, Heart-based Meditation and Vedic Psychology at New World School of Ayurveda (2008-2013) and recently completed a Spiritual Mentoring program with Dr. Paul Dugliss, director and academic Dean at New World Ayurveda. I offer Yoga, Ayurveda workshops, meditation, retreats and Spiritual Mentoring, based on Vedic Psychology. I am passionate about sharing these practices that support inner growth and development. As a Wellness Coach, I combine years of education and experience to guide clients toward vibrant health, happiness and peace of mind. My yoga classes reflect an emphasis on the meaning of yoga ~ union of self with divine consciousness ~ building inner awareness and upliftment. When I'm not teaching or working with clients, I enjoy traveling with my husband, Steve, and visiting our son and family in Chapel Hill, NC; I love to hike in the woods, walk the beaches of Lake Michigan, bike, kayak, swim, chant kirtan. Steve and I grew up in Frankfort, enjoyed living in Flint for 30 years and are now loving the beautiful north country, close to extended family and old friends.
Our History
The property of Ladaka was a dairy farm in the early 1900’s. In 1980, Jackie Thompson purchased the abandoned property, restored the dairy barn for her Arabian horses and built a two-story home attached to the barn. She named the farm “Ladaka,” after the mountain region in the Himalayas bordering India and Tibet, which she learned about from the book, The Lost Horizon, featuring the peaceful Buddhist people of Tibet and their tranquil, harmonious way of life. In 2005, Jackie’s son, Steve and his wife, Marti acquired the 75-acre farm, and in 2008 transformed the horse stalls into a yoga studio and decided to keep the name Ladaka, as it holds the same intention for them: peace, harmony, gratitude and wholeness.
